1st Eric Hovind Commentary (1/4)

A minute-by-minute commentary of a seminar hosted by the son of everyone's favorite creatard. This is Part 1 of "They're Both Religions," which is the first session of his seminar "Beginnings." This section deals with the fundamental questions of life. As always, I give the creatards who star in my video the full KingCrocoduck treatment. There will be four parts to this commentary, all of which will be designated in the playlist "Eviscerating Eric Hovind." Enjoy, and don't forget to check out the other videos in this series!

[@sithispadomay492]

It almost physically hurts to watch Eric spout his garbage.

[@SLRok]

So in other words they need a reason to feel special and loved by a sky daddy.

[@jorgen-55]

English is a wonderful language. I love the word "creatard"...

[@shtarnakkthtexemneomn7435]

Thank you for this educational and whimsically humorous video.

[@socalocman03]

If we're lucky, ol' Eric will find himself next to his father soon, behind bars where he can no longer have access to young impressionable minds.

[@ReticentSparrow]

I laughed out loud at "the Lakers would still suck." Just wanted to let you know.

[@prsplayer210]

Remember it's not completely his fault, i mean his dad, the infamous kent hovind admitted to beating Eric for being afraid of the dentist when he was like six or something, and then coldly laughing about it and using it as an anecdote in a live talk. That has to cause some sort of mental derangement

[@Crashlasher]

This guy makes my sense of logic hurt... seriously. I once had a creatard tell me logic was the devil trying to drive us away from god. Fail. Will keep watching though, as your responses crack me up. Brilliant work, King!

[@MrApostleLee]

Well Done, sir!

[@KingCrocoduck]

4)As for what caused the Big Bang, I don’t know, but we’re working on it. There are several models that have been developed, each one mathematically valid and observationally consistent. There are peer-reviewed journals easily accessible for your convenience that discuss the Oscillating Universe Model, the Eternal Singularity Model, the Virtual Particle in the Quantum Vacuum Model, and the Quantum Tunneling from a Multiverse and/or a black hole Model.

[@KingCrocoduck]

When he refers to "nothing," he really means a quantum vacuum, which is among the three schools of thought regarding the singularity that I mention.

[@WilbertLek]

"Creatard" is a Contamination. "Stupid creationist" is a Pleonasm. "Creation science" is a Oxymoron. "He's into creationism and intelligent design." is a Tautology.

[@truthtrumpsdumbness638]

Ha ha ha! I have forsaken my beloved BBC to see some of your vids, on this Sunday eve - well worth it - thank you - the Egyptian pyramid / afterlife belief analogy is simple, amusing and effective - well done.

[@Dirk1020]

I've seen it already, I loved it. I would love to make videos like you do but unfortunately I'm only seventeen, I'm not done with high school yet and the only science class I'm in is biology. Anyway, keep it up, your videos are both entertaining and educational.

[@crazypills2]

Excellent video.

[@KingCrocoduck]

(17/17)It’s a quantum phenomenon in which, put in very simple terms, the first law of thermodynamics is broken. An extremely small amount of mass is either created or destroyed- the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle allows for this to happen. Everything that I’ve just relayed to you can be found in any of the following texts. The total amount of books on the matters I’ve discussed here number literally in the millions. Please read the post titled BIBLIOGRAPHY

[@YOSSARIAN313]

his speech isnt as hitlerly entrancing as his dad

[@KingCrocoduck]

12/17)Time is part of the fabric of space, as validated by Einstein’s general relativity. General relativity also predicts that in an infinitely curved space, like what you’d have in a singularity (which we know existed because of Edwin Hubble’s observations of red-shifted galaxies, the abundance of Hydrogen and Helium in the universe, and the CBR,) time would likewise be infinitely dilated.

[@InternetDisciple]

"Then the very nature of your deity would be unknowable," Firstly, let us first establish that there is a Creator, and then address the topic of if the Creator is a deity or not. One may or may not be able to know the Creator, but there is still sufficient information to know that there is a Creator. Just as I may or may not know who built the building, but the building, itself, is sufficient evidence to show that there is a builder. Matter can't create itself.

[@wolfwing1]

great vid, one quick correction, my understanding is that the singularity has long since been abandoned, hawking has said he was wrong about it, they have otehr theories going now.

[@bombasticbill9607]

I'm a Christian and I believe in evolution. Creationists, prove I don't exist.

[@bombasticbill9607]

Oh and I almost forgot.......with science!

[@gollumgollum]

There is hope. As I've said a million times, science has nothing to do with religion. And religion has nothing to do with science. No one would go to a biology textbook to learn about morality. By the same token, one should not go to the bible to expand their knowledge of science.

[@KingCrocoduck]

In the words of Hawking, the earth is an average planet orbiting an average star in an average galaxy. I was stressing the fact that we are not as significant as we presume ourselves to be. I wouldn't call my position spiteful of our species or home; more than anything, the word "humility" comes to mind. It's been said that astronomy is a character building field, and the reason is because one learns just how unimportant one is.

[@Futureplanet]

if we came from the soup, or a cosmic belch, to me that makes life even more meaningful. Through luck and chance we are here. Life is more precious.

[@prestonfinger3873]

Hey creationist if God made us from dirt then why is there still dirt? If we were to be as petty as they are we'd ask stupid questions like this. HA

[@Futureplanet]

If God made woman from a rib, then why are there still ribs?

[@prestonfinger3873]

All of you guys are the best!

[@calebpeterson858]

Futureplanet If your question is, "why do we still have all of our ribs?" medical science shows us that the rib is the only bone in the human body that grows back. So if God removed Adam's rib to create Eve, the bone simply grew back. Not to mention taking his rib wouldn't necessarily mean producing offspring with one less rib, the same way a man with only one leg wouldn't produce offspring with only one leg. The genetic coding for creating a child with all his/her ribs (and both legs) is still there.

[@calebpeterson858]

Futureplanet www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/7332200 Here is one of many cases to demonstrate. Might be useful information to remember should you ever decide to study medicine. Good luck

[@KingCrocoduck]

3)I explicitly stated at least twice in this segment alone that the Big Bang was not an explosion, but rather an expansion from a singularity. The fact that you conveniently chose to ignore this demonstrates that you either did not watch the video, are too stupid to understand the video, or are a liar. Or all three.

[@KingCrocoduck]

(16/17)“Now you must explain from where the 'quantum vacuum' came.” Again, the quantum vacuum existed outside of the framework of time, which renders any question regarding its creation moot. “And "something came from nothing"? You got any evidence for that that you could post here?” It’s called the Cassimir effect, but they’re better known as virtual particles.

[@sayur54321]

Many creationists don't understand that it is populations that evolve, not individuals.

[@KingCrocoduck]

"Alive" doesn't mean "aware of your surroundings." If that were the case, plants wouldn't be alive. Life is classified by being able to self-replicate and independently use energy.

[@demondim5]

yeah... like the structure in a computer. patterns are material, the ones that result in thought and ideas included.

[@mysterymastermind175]

I would also like to add that he says"People who hold the evolutionary worldview believe man is god meaning everything he does goes unchecked". That is how it was in the beginning, hell may religious people believe they can do whatever they want because their faith means they have "God on their side" .

[@sagek.davidson3080]

Nice one!

[@postoergopostum]

What do you mean by "creator"? Also, I don't know much about creating matter, but why can't matter create itself,

[@jiberish001]

When Lawrence say "nothing", he isn't talking about the 'nothing' you think he is talking about.

[@jomen112]

I suspected to get this reply back due to my formulation and it indicates that you think in the same lines as I do. What I meant when writing "Nep is a bit harmless" was to set him in relation to others which I find more harmful. The damage Nep does can be repaired - it is a matter of literacy, however how do you repair social, emotional and physical harm that comes as result of dogmatic beliefs? As I see it, in free speech we can except harm done to knowledge, as to say, but not to person.

[@doulos1981]

Small point : homo sapiens do not come from frogs. Lissamphibians originated in the Permian and did not give rise to mammals.

[@roykliffen9674]

LMAO " .... ohhhhh... wait .... you better ask your mum" ... ouch

[@KingCrocoduck]

4)I wasn’t trying to prove anything, I was citing the evidence for the Big Bang. I already explained to you that nothing can be “proven” outside of mathematics. Attempting to do so is a futile prospect.

[@williamheywood9115]

So,Eric, the Earth was formed about 6000 years ago by God ? Tell me what was God doing before he decided create heaven and Earth?

[@InternetDisciple]

"...then were did the creator come from?" Good question, my friend. The question 'What created the Creator?' has the built-in assumption that the Creator needs to be created. No. Only things bound by the laws of physics necessarily need to be created. The Creator of those laws would not be bound by them. Don't continue to make the mistake of trying to apply the limitations of the laws of physics to the metaphysical.

[@leeprice133]

Sorry, what 'evolutionists' say that frogs turn into humans? It's funny to hear a man who believes in talking animals call science a fairytale.

[@KingCrocoduck]

So you're defining the metaphysical as the abstract, I'll grant that. However, I would argue that the metaphysical has no physical impact on the world because they cannot interact. To assume that metaphysical created the physical, you would have to discard the definition of the metaphysical because the act of creating something physical is an interaction. And as it happens, matter CAN be brought into existence via state transfer from plasma by the ratio of the speed of light squared.

[@InternetDisciple]

"The second idea is that plasma arose in a quantum vacuum from the Cassimir effect- put simply, "something came from nothing."" Again you invoke the fallacy of begging the question. Now you must explain from where the 'quantum vacuum' came. And "something came from nothing"? You got any evidence for that that you could post here?

[@BaronVonQuiply]

A major problem with Eric's frog bit is that I personally watched a frog plaigerize the entire King James Bible. Think about it, Eric... Were you there?

[@TheSymphonyOfScience]

yes , its a bit tricky . If you ask creationists what is life, you will get different answers. Just like their famous "kinds"

[@mormonsuicide]

In late 2014, it was determined that the Earth's water DID NOT come from comets. See 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Most astronomers now think Earth’s water came from asteroids. BTW, War is not called war anymore in the US it is called kinetic action. Please fix video at 7:51 to reflect scientific consensus.

[@zezema535]

It's funny watching these videos and seeing how Eric just parrots his father's "seminars", word for word in some places, even with the same "jokes".

[@klobiforpresident2254]

I don't know, I like some of the jokes, at least when Kent delivers them.

[@barryhamm3414]

The rotten apple never falls far from the tree.

[@MrPilton]

They don't believe in Evolution

[@SidheKnight]

He doesn't believe in frogs turning intro princes, but he believes in dust turning into human beings, and ribs turning into women, and people turning into pillars of salt.

[@MMMM-vq1yr]

Art Scott But frogs didn't even directly evolve with man, probably just some common ancestor that evolved into another ancestor, building up a tree of evolution to now.

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

Jabba Tiure That's a plenty fair statement. I didn't then, and I'm too tired now, :) to go and find how out how far back you'd need to go to find a common ancestor (and then, if we looked at it and studied it, would it be in the same family even, as a frog?). Either way, however, we both agree, I think, what you're saying only strengthens my original argument. I mean, this is the pie in the face of Ben Stein (sad to think I used to consider him intelligent), who says things as stupid as "[anyone with more than 1/2 a brain] claims, and they may be right, I don't know, that a bolt of lightning hit a pond and out popped a fully equipped Boeing 747." His argument is wrong on so many levels it's truly mindboggling. NOBODY (at least nobody who comes down on the scientific side of the house) is claiming lightning struck and suddenly, there was man (much less a 747). That's WAY more similar to the YEC argument... slap a little mud on the "nothing" here, and sculpt man, and then appreciate your artistic nature, but do that from the "nothing". Then, when you run OUT of the "nothing", you pull a rib from Adam to make a woman. It's hard not to laugh in just typing it.

[@cartmanrlsusall]

Art Scott​ win Ben steins money was an intelligent game show, I wonder when he turned into this she'll of a human, religion poisons everything

[@ericwood3709]

SidheKnight Yep. By golly, he'd believe in a frog turning into a prince if that story had shown up in the damned bible!

[@sagerider2]

Yeah, well, we see it happening all the time. Just yesterday a gas station attendant turned into a pillar of salt. Just kidding, there wasn't one. Yup, the place for menial labor is going, going, soon to be gone. Where will Eric get his suckers from then? No, not evolutionists, they're called astrophysicists. They study the cosmos. Evolutionists only work in biology. BIOLOGY. Say it 3 times. If ol' daddy had had H&R Block do his taxes he wouldn't have had to spend 10 years in prison. But I sincerely doubt he learned anything from that except, possibly don't drop the soap. Let's look at that incredible design, Eagles, vultures, bats, hawks can see better than us. Horses have a better view than us with no blind spots. Bats can see in daylight & at night with radar. OOPS. Dogs can smell better than us. Not that kind of smell. Hearing, #1, moths, plus Owls, Elephants, Dogs, Cats, Horses, & Dolphins. Strength, all the other apes are stronger than humans. We can think better than the other animals. Well, some of us.

We're not an accident, because accident implies intent. We're simply a happenstance.

[@iavv334]

[@ParanormalEncyclopedia]

"Science" according to Kent Hovind: if I don't understand it it's not science According to Eric: if my dad didn't understand it it's not science

[@sierralvx]

I was shown this series in bible class at a private canadian christian school in grade 8 and I thought it was real. I was totally convinced by his arguments and that the earth was 6000 years old. Now 10 years later as an athiest, I'm totally convinced the teacher that showed me this was insanely stupid. I'm glad I've grown out of this and I'm at a secular college now.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Good for you. Don't go to the opposite extreme; that happens sometimes with people in your position.

[@Limosethe]

​@@KingCrocoduck Opposite extreme?

[@tommyrudiger2248]

Funny how Eric has come away from the debunking science presentations and instead gone into apologetics. Videos like these would have to play a large part of it. Through the ripping shreds of the arguments presented by Eric, he now goes down the “you can’t know anything without god” to try and support his position.

[@rubberlegs15]

+King Crocoduck 3 minutes in and I'm already pissing myself laughing. This Eric is called a vagina, brilliant!

[@kennyw871]

I would not call him a vagina because a vagina is such a beautiful thing, maybe the most perfect thing on earth!

[@AttilaTheOneOriginal]

Ah, this was the first KC video I ever saw. Every once in a while I like to come back and give this series a watch. Such lies, met with such utter destruction! Never stop fighting the good fight King Crocoduck. All of your content is fantastic, and brings joy to this fellow PhD student.

[@ferociousfeind8538]

The reason, presented here by Eric Hovind, that evolution is false and creationism is true: "Evolution makes me feel small and insignificant, while creation makes me feel big and important!"

[@biggingeryeti]

He's so unbelievably dishonest it's ridiculous.

[@Hoganply]

'Dishonest' implies he knows the truth that he's withholding.

[@bwrpwr]

Wow, he basically uses his dad's exact presentation, only with worse delivery. He even uses the same shitty jokes.

[@klobiforpresident2254]

With his dad I chuckled a couple times at least.

[@TheIronwil]

Right around 13:00 Eric goes into a tirade about not having purpose and being here by accident. *This* is why creationists have so much trouble letting go of the bullshit - ego. They just can't accept that there is no objective reason or ultimate purpose to their lives, and that after they die, they won't be enjoying eternity in the penthouse. But as far as we know, we are just an accident, and the purpose to our lives is that which we give it. As for Eric's morality bullshit... Sure, without a God we're free to run around and do whatever we want. The part I've never been able to understand is the creationist/theists attitude that our desires would be to hurt people and cause damage. It's not only untrue, but makes me very uncertain about the mental state of those making that argument. I'm an atheist, which means I don't believe there's a Christian punishment or reward waiting for me after death. So how is it that I don't have a long police record for all the raping and killing these dipshits claim we'd do? It's because I'm a social, empathetic creature who understands that the benefit of the whole also benefits the individual. And also because I'm not an asshole.

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

Agreed, there's a LOT of ego in the idea that humans are somehow special, when all evidence we have shows we're really not. In fact as individuals we're utterly pathetic. We can only attempt things no other species can by culminating the knowledge of our ancestors with what we can discover, and even then the actual advancements are made by such a small number of people and everyone else just comes along for the ride.

[@alwaysthinkforyourself7028]

Hats off to you, Crocoduck!

[@sledzeppelin]

It's nice to see Eric is continuing in the family business: tricking gullible people out of their money.

[@kennyw871]

No, it's not nice to see Eric under any circumstances.

[@RustyShackleford1066]

***** Lucas Gravelyn I think you're forgetting how his dad's voice was.

[@MrJoeyWheeler]

I actually agree. He just sounds like, for lack of a better term, "a typical dumb American". His father actually sounded like a schoolyard bully whenever he talks.

[@kmasse81]

WHY DOES ERIC ALWAYS YELL?!?!!!!!!

[@klobiforpresident2254]

Because he's compensating for not being as good a speaker as his father. Also, do we know if he understands he has a mic? His dad don't understand mics.

I wish Kent Hovind would come back. His lectures were so entertaining. Frankly, I miss the guy.

[@Ichabodcrane21]

Best proof that there is no Intelligent designer, the existence of Eric Hovind.

[@KingCrocoduck]

5)“Can you please claim a fact of evolution without using science?” This is an incoherent question. Science is the method of observing the world around us; without science, there are no facts. You can’t have a fact without an observation.

Nobody: Eric: “something called soup”

[@mjanavel]

Humans are really so poorly "designed" I don't think their god would want to take credit for that design.

[@kennyw871]

If a real god created man as the pinnacle of creation, we'd be able to fly like eagles, swim like dolphins and waste people like Eric and Kent without punishment, even rewarded for such good deeds!

[@harrypothead42024]

Star Trek also seems to think that the Pinnacle of evolution is humanoid. Star Trek is fun, Eric is not.

[@huepix]

11:10 nails it. "I believe . . ." blah blah blah. As soon as people say that, they lose. Belief is NOT truth, has no evidence, and us an excuse for delusion. Kids believe in Santa. Really really believe. Then they discover truth.

[@kap3r0n]

Hey King Crocoduck i really appreciate your videos! Slightly restores my faith in humanity. Keep up the good work!

[@55Quirll]

Eric, Evolutionists don't care when or how the Universe or anything else came into existence, Evolution only cares about explaining the diversity of life through-out the planet and in the past. Physicists and Cosmologists try to understand and show how the Universe came into existence and when. Go back and read your science books Eric, you get back some of your prefrontal lobe creases that you lost by not using it.

[@AndrewJens]

My favourite parts of these videos are the increasingly exasperated " W H A T T H E F U C K ‽‽‽" responses by KC. My least favourite parts of these videos are when Hovind's lips are moving.

[@sledzeppelin]

He seems to think that preferring something makes it reality. If that were the case, I'd have already preferred people like him out of existence.

[@LucasVe208]

less than 3 minutes in and you already found the perfect spot for a virgin loser joke. King Crocoduck? nay. Ye be King Crococomedyduck. i applaud you sir. lol

[@multitudeofidols]

If he wanted to be objective, he should have turned around and asked the men if they got their wives from one of their ribs. Does _that_ happen, Eric? Yeah, evolution's a fairytale, but a story involving a talking serpent and donkey - no, that's legit.

[@kennyw871]

I have three questions for Eric: Did Noah take a male and female flea on the Ark? Most likely Eric would answer yes because Noah was very obedient. Then I would ask Eric how did Noah make sure and who held their little legs apart?

[@Peter_Scheen]

The frog into a prince is a fairy tale... What does that make of the dust into man story?

[@klobiforpresident2254]

The truth. Duh.

[@truthtrumpsdumbness638]

Is Eric Kent's offspring? (I genuinely don't know) Is that where he came from? Is that why he is here? where is he going? He proves to me that evolution cannot be true (at least not in one generation).

[@renevelation6586]

Oh my God Eric Hovind just please stop that's pathetic! That's educated people say and every woman eric has been with!

[@PhillyphilKO]

I commend you for putting this series together. I don't know how you can do this for so long, though. Listening to the Hovinds or Comfort is like an exercise in mental endurance; I have to take breaks every few videos just to let my frustration subside. Kudos to you, clearly you're more tolerant than I am when it comes to this haha.

[@HeavenlyBrush]

[@dylanvellut]

the number of burns/hour is way too damn high

[@Crocosquirrel]

cdk007 has a rundown of current Abiogenesis theory if you want to update this. It is my impression that he's an Evolutionary Biologist from what he covers in his videos. His sources wash, so it might be worth looking at. Certainly I recommend his entire Origins series, up to and including some evolution simulators in MATLab. For the specific video, click below. The Origin of Life - Abiogenesis - Dr. Jack Szostak Yes, Eric is an idiot. If it weren't clear before The Debate, it was most certainly clear directly afterwards. When *_Pat Robertson_* gets up at oh-dark-thirty to tell you to shut your trap because you're a disgrace to your religion, then you have a problem. *_Pat Robertson_* Think about that for a minute.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Let's use your dog definition. A dash hound is a species of dog, and in the cases that I presented, we've observed them become different species (i.e, "kinds") over time. If you want to redefine "kind" as a genus, evolutionary theory predicts that enough speciation events like the ones observed already will accumulate variation sufficiently to cause re-classification of genuses. Evidence for this happening is found in phylogeny, ERVs, atavisms/vestiges, and transitional fossils.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Is that the best that you can do? Ross hasn't published in the peer-review a single creationist-related topic. In any case, he's an Old-Earther- he accepts the Big Bang and that the age of the universe is 13.8 byo. His rejection of evolution is based on tired, already-debunked arguments like irreducible complexity and the probability argument. He may be intelligent, but he's also dishonest, and he is NOT a creationist- at least, not in the traditional sense of the word. Nice try.

[@KingCrocoduck]

I'm not the one spamming a page with unbacked assertions and ad hominems, so it's a bit out of place for you to be saying that I sound stupid. And I am well aware that Hovind does not speak for all creationists- I've also attacked Ken Ham, Ian Juby, NephilimFree, and the other weasels who proliferate bullshit. Obviously you still haven't watched my other videos, so frankly I'm not surprised at your fatuity. Now let's play a game... it's called "fuck off." You go first.

[@KingCrocoduck]

Dan, quit your bitching. I'm attacking creationists and fundamentalists, and if you don't like it, deal with it. My arguments against theism are entirely separate from my attacks on Hovind and his ilk. I reserve my scathing tone for the two aforementioned groups, and if you're too lazy to read my bio and watch my other videos, then that's your problem. In berating me for attacking Hovind, you ARE defending creationists and fundamentalists, and that makes you equal to them in my eyes.

[@KingCrocoduck]

I didn't target Hovind simply because we disagree, I targeted him because he is a liar. You claim that I use the same techniques as him without providing examples and imply that this video is an act of bullying and not a legitimate critique, which is demonstrably untrue. And don't think that I didn't notice how you shied away from my observation that you jumped to a flawed conclusion after seeing only one video of mine. I think that the only arrogant one here, sir, is you.

[@KingCrocoduck]

You're a moron. You watch one video and assume that this represents my view of all Christians. I have stated many times in my videos that I have nothing against religious moderates and that I respect them. My very channel description makes it clear that I have nothing against moderates, but rather than do the research, you decided to play the victim. Whatever respect that I might have had for you is gone, and will remain gone until you retract your untenable slanders.

5)To your penultimate statement regarding a city appearing in my hand, all that I can say is, WTF? Perhaps instead of gaining the satisfaction of knocking down a pathetic strawman, you could try reading a book other than the Bible and instead gain some knowledge on the matters you’re attempting to discuss, or at the very least have enough insight on the matter to avoid looking like a complete idiot.

My response is divided into six parts, so read until the end of the sixth objection. 1)Regarding the objection against my answer to the question “Who am I,” a spiritual explanation like the one you demand from me is one that is not open to scientific inquiry. All things within a spiritual context by definition transcend the physical world, hence no objective framework can be developed to give you an answer within a spiritual context.
